December!

We are pretty excited over here that December has finally arrived! This month will be full of excitement... Mr. Jordan's birthday is coming up (the big 3-0!!), his 12 hour day shifts are finally ending (and going to 10 hours... oh well, beggars can't be choosers), we are heading to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville for a little sightseeing getaway, AND we get to go to both Utah and Arizona for Christmas/New Year's. Woo hoo!

We have been pretty busy settling into life with the little man, and poor Jordan has been working his booty off. Once 8PM and the weekends roll around, we are all just happy to get to spend time together as a family!

We have spent the past couple Saturdays going on family outings downtown, taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather, buying a new camera (hooray!), and hunting for a possible new (used) vehicle. Other than that, life has been pretty uneventful. Sorry.

To hold everyone over for a little while, here are some recent-ish pictures of life and Jonah man! Pardon us if some of them are less than stellar... we (me) are still getting used to ISO's and aperture and dinglehoppers and what nots.

 Our precious, drooly little guy!


We just love little baby man so much. He is so fun and we are kind of enthralled with him :) At his 8 week check-up, he was 12 lbs 3 oz and 24 1/2 inches tall. I swear he has already grown much more than that; our little Hulk feels heavier by the day. He has just started to smile a lot more and coos, ahhs, and gasps all day long. He has also started to lift himself up on his arms (mini push-ups), has much better head control, and can stand up and bear weight on his legs if we hold him. What a fantastic cutie guy!
